| Abstract: | Papers for a conference held in March 1972 at the American University in Cairo. The main purpose of the conference was to bring together anthropologists who had recently done fieldwork in the Middle East and North Africa in order to discuss the relationships between pastoralists and non-pastoralists, as opposed to the usual procedure of merely providing ethnographic descriptions of particular pastoral/nomadic groups. |
